Personal Injury

Survivors of the Nottingham Attacks have given their first and only TV interview following the June 2023 attack. They shared their experience and hopes for the upcoming Inquiry, as well as what it means for the city they still live in.

After attending the Justice session in the House of Commons on 22nd April, we welcome the announcement that Her Honour Deborah Taylor will be chairing the public inquiry into the Nottingham Attacks of June 2023.

Losing a loved one is an incredibly upsetting and distressing time for any family and can be even more so when that death becomes the subject of inquest proceedings.

Yesterday, Wayne Birkett, survivor of the Nottingham attacks, and Rothera Bray partner and solicitor Greg Almond, met with Sir Keir Starmer and Alex Davies-Jones to discuss an inquiry into the 13 June 2023 attacks.

Greg Almond, our serious injury partner and solicitor, and the legal representative for two survivors of the 13 June 2023 Nottingham attacks is to visit Number 10 today.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) had brought charges upon Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) as a result of failures to provide safe care and treatment to three mothers and their babies in 2021.

Greg Almond, partner and solicitor, at Nottingham-headquartered firm, Rothera Bray, and the legal representative for two survivors of the 13 June 2023 Nottingham attacks said:

The Ministry of Justice today announced the removal of the three-year time limit for sexual abuse claims, marking a “watershed moment” for survivors of sexual abuse.

The Nottingham maternity investigation has widened following a file loss at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, which included information on infant fatalities. An extra 300 cases are now under review, along with a police investigation into the deleted file. Claire Cooper – from Rothera Bray’s Clinical Negligence team – comments.

Maternity services across the UK have been under scrutiny for a number of years and at Rothera Bray we speak with many families who have suffered poor and potentially negligent care from Trusts around the country.  Poor maternity care can have a devastating impact including life-limiting injuries or death of a baby, and physical and psychological harm to the mother. Failings are made worse by knowing that they could have been preventable with appropriate care.
